Newborn Session Packages
All standard sessions come with basic editing (lighting, cropping, color adjustment, basic retouching for minor blemishes). Newborn sessions take place in your home; I'll bring backdrops, lighting, and my supply of newborn props. Images are delivered via email link to your own private gallery within 2 weeks of the session date.

FAQs
What should I prepare for the session?
I'll need a space about 10ft. x 10 ft. to set up backdrops, lighting, and some space for props/totes, with access to an electrical outlet close by. It will take me 15-20 minutes to set up once I arrive, and 10-15 minutes to clean up after the session. The set up and clean up times are NOT included in the time we spend taking photos during the session.
Be prepared to add in some time for nursing/feeding, outfit/diaper changes, and shushing as needed to the time of your session. Feeding as I'm setting up tends to work well for timing.
Have a boppy pillow handy, bump up the temperature a few degrees, and try to time it so the little one is ready to sleep when the session starts.
What backgrounds and props do you have?
Great question! You can see most of the available options for backdrops, props, and newborn wraps/outfits here: https://meganhiltonphotography.pixieset.com/newbornoptions/
Are there "extra" fees?
I work hard to stay transparent in my pricing. If your home is more than 30 minutes from me, a $30 travel fee is added ($70 if an hour away). Additional retouching requests are $10/image. Full gallery editing is available upon request. I will let you know if I am not able to accommodate a retouching request. Overtime fees apply ($30/10 mins).
Additional requests for props, backdrops, or outfits not already in my supply can be negotiated (I may choose to add to my collection, you can purchase and keep, or we can add cost to your session and I'll add it to my items).
Can I get more photos than the package includes?
YES! Once you receive your proof gallery, you can pay for individual pictures beyond the number included in your package ($8 each, or $160 for the full gallery).
Do you give sneak peeks?
Yes! Within 5 days of your session, you'll receive an email from me with a link to a blog post on my website. The blog will include a small handful of images from the session. You're welcome to post the link to your blog or share it with family and friends!
